Galen's treatises on the classification and causation of diseases and symptoms are an important component of his prodigious oeuvre, forming a bridge between his theoretical works and his practical, clinical writings. As such, they remained an integral component of the medical teaching curriculum well into the second millennium. This edition was originally published in 2006. In these four treatises (only one of which had been previously translated into English), Galen not only provides a framework for the exhaustive classification of diseases and their symptoms as a prelude to his analysis of their causation, but he also attempts to establish precise definitions of all the key terms involved. Unlike other of his works, these treatises are notably moderate in tone, taking into account different views on structure and causation in a relatively even-handed way. Nonetheless, they are a clear statement of the Dogmatic position on the theoretical foundations of medicine in his time.

In his text De locis affectis, Galen of Pergamon developed a method that allowed the physician of antiquity to identify internal disease that was not directly visible. This volume offers the first critical edition of books I and II of this central Galenic work. Drawing on all known Greek text sources, the text has been reconstituted and translated into German. In seiner Schrift De locis affectis (Über das Erkennen erkrankter Körperteile) entwickelt Galen von Pergamon eine Methode, mit deren Hilfe der erkrankte Körperteil gefunden werden kann, auch wenn er sich innerhalb des Körpers befindet und damit - in Ermangelung bildgebender Verfahren - für den antiken Arzt nicht unmittelbar erkennbar ist. Dabei werden vor allem Aktivitätsschädigungen, Ausscheidungen oder Schmerzen als Indizien für den erkrankten Körperteil herangezogen und gedeutet. Ein solches Vorgehen ist für den Arzt oft eng mit dem Therapieerfolg verknüpft, wie Galen anhand von verschiedenen Beispielen erläutert.Das vorliegende Buch bietet die erste kritische Edition dieser zentralen galenischen Schrift. Auf Grundlage aller bekannten griechischen Überlieferungsträger wurde der Text neu konstituiert, ins Deutsche übersetzt und durch einen ausführlichen Kommentar erläutert. Umfangreiche Indizes runden das Werk ab.

Galen hat als Gladiatorenarzt in Pergamon, als Freund etlicher Mitglieder der römischen Oberschicht und als Hausarzt der Kaiser in Rom die Lebensbedingungen aller Schichten der römischen Gesellschaft des 2. Jahrhunderts n. Chr. kennen gelernt. Die vorliegende Arbeit unternimmt erstmals eine Auswertung des gesamten Corpus Galenicum für die Sozialgeschichte der römischen Kaiserzeit. Dabei wird die besondere Perspektive berücksichtigt, die sich aus Galens Herkunft und Laufbahn sowie der Motivation seiner Schriften ergibt. Die Darstellung folgt zunächst der Biographie Galens, bietet aber auch übergreifende Kapitel, z. B. zur Sklaverei. Galen, as gladiator doctor in Pergamum, friend of several members of the Roman upper class, and family physician of the emperors in Rome, was well acquainted with the living conditions of all strata of Roman society of the second century A.D. For the first time, in this book all of Galen's writings are analyzed as a contribution to the social history of the Roman Empire. The author considers the special perspective offered by Galen's background, career, and motives for writing. The material is presented first following Galen's biography; the study then branches out to chapters on slavery and other overarching aspects of the world Galen knew.

This first full-length study of the Arabic reception of Plato's Timaeus considers the role of Galen of Pergamum (129-c. 216 CE) in shaping medieval perceptions of the text as transgressing disciplinary norms. It argues that Galen appealed to the entangled cosmological scheme of the dialogue, where different relations connect the body, soul, and cosmos, to expand the boundaries of medicine in his pursuit for epistemic authority - the right to define and explain natural reality. Aileen Das situates Galen's work on disciplinary boundaries in the context of medicine's ancient rivalry with philosophy, whose professionals were long seen as superior knowers of the cosmos vis-à-vis doctors. Her case studies show how Galen and four of the most important Christian, Muslim, and Jewish thinkers in the Arabic Middle Ages creatively interpreted key doctrines from the Timaeus to reimagine medicine and philosophy as well as their own intellectual identities.
